Hotel has a spectacular view. It’s at the very top so it takes longer to get to and from town but If you like to walk stairs and see wonderful views, this is a great place. The hotel itself is a bit dated in style, but There are pockets of contemporary features throughout as well. The hotel was very clean and everyone was very accommodating and extremely friendly. Common terraces and the restaurant are superb. The pool is very small and outdated.

Tremendous view from room, restaurant of Mt. Etna (it was clear one night and we could see eruptions) , Taormina and Ionian sea. Excellent, gracious service in hotel and restaurant. Our deluxe double bedroom was a little small, but there was an extensive drawers in the alcove closet area. the bathroom was spacious and well equipped. Street parking is free but and is in most of Italy, challenging. Only tiny plunge pool. Pistachio crusted lamb excellent, Other meal and Breakfast had a nice variety and was good.

There are many wonderful things about Taormina. It's a magical place. But for us, our Taormina experience was exponentially enhanced by our stay at Hotel Villa Ducale. It is an exceptionally beautiful property, with stunning views of the town, the sea, the coastline, and mount Etna. We absolutely loved our suite, with its private entrance and the view of the coastline, its exquisite décor, super comfy bed, and unexpected amenities such as free drinks in the fridge, and Etro toiletries and Etro robe. After a day of sightseeing, we looked forward to unwinding at the terrace with a glass of wine overlooking the most majestic view of Sicily we could only have dreamed of. I could write an entire essay on the staff, which was as impressive as the views from the hotel. From the reception office to the wait staff and bartender, to the person in charge of parking our car in an impossibly tight and coveted spot, they made our stay unforgettable. Taormina is a very busy, crowded, and noisy town. Hotel Villa Ducale is quiet and peaceful. It provided us with the space to rest well and recharge. The hotel is well located, between Taormina and Castelmola, (about 15-20 minutes walk to either town), an added benefit, since parking is virtually impossible.

While the hotel has beautiful views of the water, the location is very inconvenient to get into town. The staff is hit or miss with many of the workers quite rude and unhelpful and we were overcharged multiple times by the taxi companies that the hotel recommended. Be aware, the shuttle service offered by the hotel is offered at very random times and even if you reserve ahead of time, they sometimes forget and do not honor. Would recommend staying closer to the main location and spending your money at a more welcoming place.
